Forums -> Multiple monitors -> windows media player and win 2k

I have a two monitor setup in win2k with a hercules pci cougar tnt and prophet 2 mx in. I have 6.34 detonator drivers for win 2k. I can't watch video fullscreen in media player and do anything on my secondary display. The minute I click my mouse, the activemovie window that displays the fullscreen video disappears. I do not have this problem with any other program, like powerdvd etc. I can watch dvds and work on the secondary display easily. Does anyone know how to work around this?

Hi, i think you can't work around this. I think it is due to windows media player (wmp): i called microsoft developer's hotline to get information about wmp and fullscreen in a multiple monitors configuration, they told me :"wmp is based on DirectX and fullscreen mode is not designed to be used in multiple monitors configuration."
So be it!

Bye

PS: Don't be affraid by my english, it is not very good but i have a good pretext:
